For months now, a scandal has been swirling in the Internet winds about Scytl, the Spanish company that will count 2012 general election votes for many of the United States of America.

It is unfortunate this got to be a question of whether or not George Soros has ownership in that firm. That is beside the point. Make that the points, plural. Here they are.

Scytl’s electronic voting and any other electronic voting, that does not give us a paper trail of auditable ballots is a betrayal of the trust of the sovereign American People.

The counting of American votes must never, ever, take place by any agency outside the sovereign United States of America.

Many questions arise about this travesty. Some have been answered. We present a series of articles about how this has come to be, what Scytl is, and what their track record is. As we do, we will address clear and present dangers in the next general elections.

Perhaps we will then focus beyond Scytl, to other, related matters of voting integrity. Perhaps we will help the People to do what our state and federal government should do for us. More is to come, but also see: “The Left’s National Vote Fraud Strategy Exposed,” by James S. Simpson, May 8. – AW

For years it has been clear that Snopes.com, FactCheck.org, PolitiFact.com and Wikipedia.com are sources of misinformation, partisanship, and bias. Snopes is the worst. Wikipedia is about as biased, Politifact.com is a joke, and FactCheck.org has a personal agenda. These sites do not scrub the internet of good information but they do confuse and bury the truth. It is now so difficult to research online that many people have given up, including professional journalists.

FactCheck cherry-picks “facts” to suit its anti-NRA, anti-gun, anti-self-defense agenda—an agenda that the American people do not share.

FactCheck.org changed how it financed its operations in 2010. Their About Us page now includes some revealing information about staff and finances. Donations from the left-leaning Pew Charitable Trusts, Carnegie Corporation of New York and Obama donors from the Flora Family Foundation. Regardless, FactCheck.org is superior to Snopes, Politifact or Wikipedia.

Wikipedia.com is edited by an army of paid left-wing operatives and ignorant kids who reference bad sources. It is useful for very basic information and links to vocabulary definitions. It is also useful to see the progressive revision of historical events. Lets move on…

Snopes.com is the big daddy of politically biased propaganda and misinformation. David and Barbara Mikkelson are the owners of Snopes and do much of their own research from their home in the San Fernando Valley. Researching into Snopes bias has revealed problems with how they handled many issues. However, financial contributions to Barack Obama were not uncovered nor was private financing from George Soros. It may be that the Mikkelson family has an natural left-wing bias and do not require or report compensation.

One reason that you should not trust snopes.com is that the site disables users ability to cut and paste text from the webpage. Users cannot take text and check it against other sources via a search engine like Google.com. Maybe the Mikkelsons were worried about intellectual property rights as they generate their own research content. However, they gather most of their information from available online resources.

The Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment (MOVE) Act of 2009 mandates that U.S. jurisdictions allow its uniformed and overseas citizens to receive and track their ballots electronically. As a result, many jurisdictions now allow their uniformed and overseas citizens to mark their ballots using online platforms.

Critics say that the machines and software the company provides are too vulnerable to hackers and to those intent on perpetrating voter fraud. In 2010, Washington, D.C.’s new electronic voting system installed by SCYTL was hacked. And during the South Carolina Republican Primary this year there were numerous reports of irregularities associated with the company’s electronic system.

The problems associated with electronic voting led to a major complaint being filed with the Election Assistance Commission by Voter Action.

Prior to 2012 much of the software being used for voting system upgrades came from a company called SOE. However, SCYTL acquired SOE in a purchase agreement in late 2011 and early 2012. The platform that SCYTL currently uses actually originated with SOE before the acquisition.

But herein lies yet another problem inherent with the software, according to critics. Elections and vote fraud expert Bev Harris of Black Box Voting says that the uniform system SCYTL now uses makes it nearly impossible to check for accuracy, given that it does not mandate a paper trail of votes. There is no proof, no written record, no documentation.

If the company utilized two separate counting systems, the two could be compared and contrasted to test for accuracy. But such a system of checks and balances is not being implemented by the company, and some states no longer require a paper record of votes.

Perhaps the most dangerous aspect of systems like that of SCYTL, however, is the fact that it is possible for elections officials in government, and the computer programmers who work with the machines and software, to see how each individual citizen votes. According to Harris, such a system is a direct threat to voter privacy.

We add to the Examiner.com article with the information that SOE software developer David Condon was a Obama donor in 2008.

Harris’ online vote watch venture, BlackBoxVoting, contains a disturbingly lengthy list of an assortment of problems associated with elections and voter fraud in the U.S., including widespread evidence that government officials can now see exactly how an individual citizen voted. The site also delineates how state and local elections officials in certain states routinely mislead the public and outright violate the law.

The concerns do not stop at the technical level. Scytl CEO Pere Valles is reported to be a socialist and a major Obama donor. Valles may be one of 5340 deleted donors from the Federal Election Commission’s April 22 database update which is the basis of Center for Responsive Politics’ OpenSecrets.org donor list. Donor deletions exploded off the FEC donor list under the Obama administration:

This is not adequate information and additional investigation was required.

Prior to joining Scytl, Mr. Valles was Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer of GlobalNet, a NASDAQ publicly-traded telecommunications company headquartered in Chicago.

Mr. Valles had worked as Senior Manager for KPMG’s Mergers & Acquisitions group in Los Angeles and Miami providing financial and strategic consulting services to private equity groups and corporations involved in acquisitions in the United States, Latin America and Europe.

Mr. Valles has a bachelor degree in Economics and a bachelor degree in Law from the University of Barcelona and a MBA (summa cum laude) from Indiana University.

A quick look at Obama donors from KPMG hits the jackpot. Four pages of Obama donors is definitive of Senior Manager Pere Valles’ team. Anyone who has worked in a consulting company can attest to the “birds of a feather” associations. While not a direct connection to Barack Obama, this is circumstantial evidence.

Indiana University, of which I have a B.S. in Business Finance, is one of the most liberal institutions in America. Mr. Valles was unlikely to graduate Summa Cum Laude from Indiana University’s heavily progressive MBA program without buying into the ideology.

From personal experience in the mid-nineties, Kelley School of Management “Business Ethics” classes pushed an anti-traditional values agenda with intolerance of dissent. Questioning the agenda during class discussions led to derision and affected how essay questions were graded. The professor’s humiliation tactics affected other students’ perceptions when they evaluated members of group projects. Disagreeing with socialist professors affects GPA.

Snopes misleads about Scytl

Snopes attempts to cover-up for Scytl with misinformation and misdirection. They first focus on the wrong question:

Claim: President Obama has sold the tabulating of votes in U.S. national elections to Scytl, a Spanish company run by a donor to his campaign.

The answers to this straw-man question are superficial at best. Let’s review their three talking points:

1.

The Obama administration could not possibly have “sold the processing rights of our votes in the general election” to Scytl, as the federal government does not run elections: individual states do. It’s up to each state to determine on its own how to conduct its elections and what voting systems to use.

Moreover, it’s highly unlikely any states will be choosing to use systems like Scytl’s to implement online voting on anything more than a very limited basis in the 2012 general election. Scytl’s current list of customers includes only four U.S. states plus the District of Columbia, all of whom have so far limited their use of Scytl systems to providing a means for overseas (i.e., military and absentee) voters to cast their ballots remotely. According to Discovery News, even those scant initial uses of online voting failed to pan out in some cases, and those systems will not bere-used in 2012:

The Truth

This is misleading because Scytl purchased all SOE contracts with states and counties. Judging by Sctyl’s recent press releases, many states are choosing these systems. Military and overseas voters are another focus:

full ballot access for U.S. military & overseas voters and blank ballot delivery & marking via iPad, tablet or computer.

Snopes’ contention that the Obama administration did not grant the contracts at the federal level is misdirection. It has not been stated that Barack Obama used some official channel to grant the contracts. The Obama administration failed to live up to its’ oath of defending the U.S. Constitution by allowing the troubling purchase.

MISDIRECTION

2.

The security and auditability of online voting systems remains a subject of debate, which, as noted above, makes it quite improbable there will be any statewide (much less nationwide) use of systems like Scytl’s in tabulating votes for the 2012 presidential election. Steve Wildstrom, writing in Tech.pinions, outlined the difficulties of implementing such systems securely: [see remainder at snopes.com]

The Truth

Again, Sctyl’s recent press releases show that the “improbability” opinion is wrong.

WRONG OR MISINFORMATION

3.

The current CEO of Scytl is Pere Vallés, whose résumé states: [see above]Despite claims that Pere Vallés “donated heavily to the 2008 Obama campaign,” a searchof all donors to the 2008 presidential campaign of Barack Obama does not turn up a contribution (of any size) from anyone with that name. (Likewise, we found no evidence supporting the common rumor that financier George Soros holds an ownership stake in Scytl.)

The Truth

Pere Valles is not shown on the donor list, but his history clearly points to the conclusion that he is an Obama supporter. It is odd that so many of his underlings would contribute to the Obama campaign without his buy in. It is possible that Valles name was removed from the donor list as one of 5340 deleted records but everyone’s contributions could not be deleted. Further, we have uncovered significant financial ties between Scytl investors and the Obama administration.

Scytl is a private foreign company and involvement by George Soros would be difficult to prove. Saying that this is false is misleading, it is simply unproven. It will take time to come to a conclusion whether Soros, The Muslim Brotherhood, China, North Korea, Venezuala or Iran have ownership or infiltration at Scytl. Implying these connections to be false dissuades the public from uncovering the truth.

DANGEROUSLY MISLEADING

Conclusion

Voting is key in our system. Everyone should contribute to the effort for fair and secure elections. This includes fact checkers being intellectually curious enough to do the difficult research required to answer important questions. Snopes has failed in the instance of Scytl due to a bias in favor of Barack Obama.

Instances such as this are a danger to our country. The public has a deluge of information sources but searches of fact checking organizations that lead to misinformation are particularly harmful. When the misinformation undermines our entire process of election by delaying the resolution of problems and public debate of the facts, it goes beyond partisanship or bias.

Scytl processing votes in Spain is unacceptable. The transparent tabulation of votes is critical to free elections. In the SOE/Scytl system, local precincts will no longer count the votes. The task will be completed by a foreign company which we do not control. Once the votes are merged, local officials will be unable to check or recheck their integrity.

We seem to have reached the end of the United States of America, folks. At least that is what the Obama syndicate wants us to believe. The time to panic has come and gone and now the great and planned wasteland of what was once our country has already begun its implementation. Will we ever stop it?

From a recent Obama court’s ruling that passengers have no more rights not to be sexually molested by TSA employees through the US Treasury being summarily routed by Obama, Geithner and the rest of the Obama syndicate’s hordes, the US Constitution’s Bill of Rights having been overturned and decimated by the Soros-directed Obama syndicate, the Second Amendment being compromised by the Obama-Holder illegal “gunwalker” schemes to the NWO’s Agenda 21 (which will now determine where people are allowed to live and work and what transportation they may use) beginning implementation in California (more specifically San Francisco-where else?) the Obama beast and a supplicant and willing Congress have allowed the complete destruction of America.

It seems that my 2008 prediction may be coming to fruition when I wrote:

After Obama is elected, all of his programs and people to keep him in power indefinitely—and to rid him of any and all opposition—will be firmly in place. You will not be able to vote him out of office. By the time he assumes the position of President of the United States it will already be too late. A democratic republic will last only so long as people of good will allow and fight for it. After they are gone—or removed—it is ended.

An additional and insidious problem is that the US Congress–both the now totally Marxist Democrat Party and the formerly stealth Marxist Republicans–support the policies of Dictator-in-Chief Obama. And now Obama’s planned and irrevocable final coup d’etat of the US government may be enacted.

In January 2012 a [then] quiet deal was struck between SOE Software (then the leading US vote tabulation company. Scytl is said to be strongly linked to George Soros. The Obama syndicate members arranged the deal and Obama’s now wholly-owned rubber-stamp Congress agreed to it. That’s right. A foreign company may now, ostensibly and unconstitutionally, determine who wins US “elections.” Of extreme interest, Scytl’s CEO, Pere Valles, was the former VP and CFO of GlobalNet whose headquarters were based in Obama’s then base of operations Chicago. Although apparently scrubbed from Obama’s donor list (as so many negative and potentially negative-to-Obama documents and videos have been), Valles is said to have contributed heavily to Obama’s first presidential run.

Although US States and their precincts are the ones who Constitutionally have counted votes since the US began as a nation, the indication seems to be that all States may now be told by the Obama government that all votes–nationwide–will be tabulated by the foreign company. Also, as all votes are “merged” under the Scytl system, no recounts will be available. Note: As an added “feature,” Scytl also has a specific program for military votes. I guess we can now assume military votes will be summarily dismissed if a Marxist-Democrat is in power.

Folks, in one last ditch effort to keep the last vestiges of our country from careening off, over and into the abyss we MUST contact our Representatives and Senators. Was Congress even involved in this? Typically, whenever a (designated national security–isn’t our right to a legal and represented vote national security?) foreign company (i.e. Scytl) looks to take over a US company (i.e. SOE), Congress must be involved (does anyone still remember China’s failed attempt to acquire Unocal?). Thus far, I have found nothing on the Internet that indicates Congress’ involvement in the Scytl deal…at all. In actuality, I was advised today that Congress had no part in the Scytl acquisition of SOE Software. Was Congress bypassed again by an increasingly totalitarian government‘s Executive branch? Is Congress paying attention to anything that Obama does?

Was it the Obama syndicate who arranged this latest anti-democratic/anti-republic debacle? All we know now is that no one seems to be taking the credit and We-the-People are the ones being sold out to and for the global elite. No matter what name is used…it is still slavery.

I am a babyboomer and empty nester who savors every moment of my past and believes that it is the responsibility of each of us in my generation and Americans in general to make sure that America is as good or even a better place for future generations as it was for us. So far... we haven't done very well!!

At age 62 I find myself fighting inoperable uterine Cancer and thanks to the man upstairs and the prayers from so many people including many of my readers from AskMarion and JustOneMorePet... I'm beating it.
After losing our business because of the economy and factors related to the re-election of President Obama in 2012 followed by 16-mos of job hunting, my architect-trained husband is working as a trucker and has only been home approximately 5-days a month since I was diagnosed, which has made everything more difficult and often lonely... plus funds are tight. Our family medical deductible is 12K per year for two of us; thank you ObamaCare.
But thanks to donations from so many of you, we are making ends meet as I go through treatment while taking care of my father-in-law who is suffering from late stage Alzheimer's and my mother-in-law who suffers from RA and onset dementia as well as hearing loss, for which there are no caretaker funds,
as I continue the fight here online to inform and help restore our amazing country.
And finally I need to thank a core group of family, friends, and readers... all at a distance, who check in with me regularly. Plus, I must thank my furkids who have not left my side through this fight. You can see them at JustOneMorePet.

This will be our biggest battle in winning the election(s) in November… voter fraud, fraudulent registration, the voter ID laws that the DOJ keeps fighting, dead people and even dead dogs voting and the biggest problem of all will be the vote count, especially with scytl, in Spain, counting much of our vote… electronically. We must get people to volunteer and to demand recounts and even new elections, if necessary, so we don’t end up with anymore Al Frankens… who we now know for sure didn’t win, and most paying attention then knew, but they let him stay in office.
